If your measurements are going down the scale doesn’t matter! I fear that the scale is going down (a bit—I had regained about 15 pounds after ending the study, and now that I’m on zepbound have lost about 5) but that it may be muscle loss and my measurements aren’t changing. Tbd. I am meeting a friend this afternoon to check out a possible new gym and possible new workout buddy. That would be v motivating for both of us. I’ve only been really working out once a week, which is not nearly enough.

Brenda yay the good news but boo the bad news. Yikes.

I am going down to SF and staying with a friend (and working) most of Thanksgiving week. Hope it’ll be a good time—I tend to like to know a plan and she tends to forget to tell me she has a plan. But we are going to some friends of hers for the actual meal, I guess. Then onward to Palm Springs, though it’ll be v different than planned. Tbd if my friend will be there at all, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of her friends who were coming cancel. But the sunshine will be nice.

Laura, glad your brother is doing ok. Sounds like you’ve got some good options for turkey!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

how much of the Japanese alphabet

Isn't there more than one?

Our wings are not tired.

So feel free (or not) to accept my encouraging nudge to go move your body tomorrow.

Feeling the nudge. I need to get a workout buddy. We have a nice gym in the building so it should be easy. Most of the reason I went daily in NY was that my sister went with me.

Always Anti-fascist!

Joining Karl on the grease-for-lunch bench.(Maybe it's a short bench; we can sit close) But I won't say what I had. No need to incite disgust. Or envy.

Woo! Consider this your official appreciation of praise worthy body rocking! Getting a workout buddy helps a ton.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S is still in the hospital. The tentative plan is for him to be discharged early Thursday morning, then go up to the RTC to be admitted later in the morning. We've had a bit of a snafu with the insurance, but hopefully it will be straightened out in time.

May it all go smoothly, Sheryl. Did you get all your id and card stuff straightened out?

Workout with friend successful! We plan to go again next Friday and then regularly in January. This will be excellent motivation.

Good luck, Sheryl.

Laura,

I got my work badge done on Tuesday. I have gotten a new credit card, debit cards, driver's license, social security card and insurance card. I made an appointment to get a new passport on Dec. 7th.(first time available) Waiting on my glasses.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I know I have to get my MA drivers license renewed by my birthday, but when I went to the website there was a reminder that RealID goes into effect this May.

So I'm going to have to gather up a whole bunch of documents, like my SS card and my birth certificate. I KNOW I have them, but putting my hands on them may be a labor.

Anyway, I pass this info on as a reminder that after May it will be necessary for air travel, and if the Trumpistas really get going, it may be necessary to show it at the entrance to a whole bunch more things.

(It may also go the other way -- enough Evangelicals are worried about The Mark Of The Beast, capital-L Libertarians about Internal Passports, and so on. Depends on pays enough money to his campaign and slush fund, I guess.)
